There's also some low-hanging fruit if someone wants to contribute. E.g. the developer docs are rather outdated. I recently implemented AMD FSR as a Gimp plugin but all the docs led to code that resulted in a slew of deprecation warnings. Also poor performance and some thing just not working right at all (tile cache). I kinda got frustrated with it and dropped the gimp parts altogether, but if I had more time, it shouldn't be hard to figure out and maybe improve the docs or write an up to date tutorial.

Onboarding for contributors is very high on my TODO list :)

I'd appreciate actionable feedback on that plan.

I think you're not the first person facing this issue. If you feel like it, organizing a hackathon around it, so that you and others can update the docs and polish your respective plugins would be a huge contribution! Speaking as someone who is not a GIMP contributor myself.
